I started a new thread because I was concerned this one wasn't getting enough attention: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?342172-Watch-the-Vote-2012-Iowa-Caucus/page2

The following was taken from the Blackboxvoting.org website. Please download. VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION to help combat any possible voter fraud.

It is from their activist tool kit:

Module 12 called " Monitor The Voting" :

And Module 13 called "Monitor The Counting" : http://www.blackboxvoting.org/toolkit-counting.pdf



Some excerpts:

Hard Core Evidence:

Goals: Document what goes on inside and outside the polling place.
Before the election

• Generally you cannot stay in the polling place to watch unless you have "poll
watcher" status. To apply for permission, check the requirements of your local
jurisdiction.

• Many locations require you to have a party affiliation, which is not difficult to obtain
if you are a member of a political party. If this is the case, contact your local political
party to obtain poll watcher credentials.

• Some jurisdictions may not require a party affiliation, but will require you to register
in advance to become a poll watcher.

• If you cannot become a poll watcher, you can still observe everything that takes place
inside your polling place while you are voting on Election Day.

CITIZEN'S TOOL KIT TO TAKE BACK YOUR ELECTIONS


What to Watch For During the Voting
• Focus on gathering evidence, not telling stories. What you observe in the polling place
may become evidence in an elections contest, and it may receive coverage in the media,
so gather the kind of evidence that is most useful to journalists and attorneys:
- Video
- Audio
- Photographs
- Names and phone numbers of witnesses
- Voting machine serial number, time of day, names of poll workers present
What to bring with you to the polling place
• See this article: http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/73/27587.html
for an easy guide to gadgets like audio recorders and videocams.

• You may face restrictions as to what visual images you are allowed to record. This
varies from place to place. If possible, bring a small video or digital camera. Many
digital cameras can also take Web-quality video.

• Bring a notebook and a writing implement.
• Bring a small audio recorder.
• In the following states you can audio record without asking permission:

Alabama • Alaska • Arizona • Arkansas • Colorado • District Of Columbia • Georgia • Hawaii •
Idaho • Indiana • Iowa • Kansas • Kentucky • Louisiana • Maine • Michigan • Minnesota •
Mississippi • Missouri • Minnesota • Nebraska • Nevada • New Jersey • New Mexico • New York •
North Carolinia • North Dakota • Oklahoma • Oregon • Ohio • Rhode Island • South Carolina •
South Dakota • Tennessee • Texas • Utah • Vermont • Virginia • West Virginia • Wisconsin •
Wyoming

• Other states require two-party consent to record, and it is up to you whether you want
to fight for your rights to record under public meetings law. Generally, you need
permission to record audio in the following states:

California • Connecticut • Delaware • Florida • Massachusetts • Maryland • Montana • New
Hampshire • Pennsylvania • Washington

Do you have to be from Iowa to be watch the vote there? Is there a place to determine which voting locations will be covered and which ones still need people?

That's a good question. Wish I knew the answer. Maybe you should post it at the blackboxvoting.org forums and let us all know:
